As you
know, for the last eight years, I have been working to heal my son from his
vaccine injury and working to make sure that what happened to Chandler, stops happening to children in this
country and around the world. While I
first began this work, I believed that if we just educated our officials on the
problems in the medical system that were harming children, that they would work
in earnest to change the disastrous policies that have been making our children
so sick. It was a difficult truth to
face that the government know, but just doesn't care. But after having numerous conversations with
people in power positions, and even giving private government briefings on
these matters, only to see nothing change, it was a truth I had to face.

So I
blogged on AdventuresInAutism.com, I contributed to the book Vaccine Epidemic,
I helped start The Canary Party, and I got back involved in the Republican
Party. And seeing that Ron Paul was the
only one wise enough to see how government was making people sick, and brave enough
to plainly say it, I knew that the only route to ending the autism epidemic and
healing the damage that has been done, was to back Dr. Paul, who wants to
minimize government power, and give it back to ordinary people. Even mom's like me who just want to give our
children raw milk, and choose their own vaccine schedule.

It is
surprising to me that following that path would put me on the floor of the
Republican National Convention in Tampa. But that is where I found myself yesterday.

As many of
you know, I was elected as part of the Maine Delegation. But the leadership of the Maine GOP and the
RNC apparently doesn't want me or my educated, passionate and honest fellow
delegates to be a part of their party.
They stripped Maine
of their elected delegates, and replaced them with their hand picked
choices. I was not one of those
chosen.

Being in Tampa this week has been
an emotional roller coaster. The way the
RNC has treated us has been abysmal, but the way we are being treated by
delegates is wonderful! Even Romney
delegates. It gives me hope that we can
reform the Republican Party to the party that it is supposed to be and restore
our Republic. Everyone here knows that
this is a power grab. It was even
apparent to the members of the credentialing committee that made the last
decision. Dozens of them approached our people to say, "I am so sorry that
this happened to you." As if they
were not the ones that even made the decision.

And even
our own Governor stands in recognition of the injustice that is being
done. Although he is a Maine Elected
Delegate who was not dismissed, and although he has endorsed Romney for
President, The Honorable Paul LePage has boycotted the GOP Convention in
protest of our treatment. We cannot
thank him enough for this powerful and public stand on our behalf.

My own
Maine GOP Chair, who is communicating with the RNC directly, as admitted to me that
the RNC's position is that, "They say that can seat whoever they want, or
they can seat no one at all. They don't
give a shit anymore."

The rules
of the Republican Party do not apply to the Maine.

Later in
the day, during the Rules Committee hearing, it finally became apparent as to
why it was being done. The new rules of
the Republican will do to every state what they have done to Maine this year. The RNC has so stacked the rules, that they
will effectively have the power to choose the candidate they want, and the
grass roots will have no power to change things. And by removing our Elected Maine Delegates,
they have been able to strip away ten who would vote it out.

For the
details on Maine's role in this, and to see Mitt Romney tell a reporter on
Camera that he didn't know what was happening with Maine, despite the fact that
Ben Ginsberg his head lawyer who orchestrated the Rules changes is the one who
came to the Maine Convention to sabotage it, and then lead the law suit against
seating Maine, go to:

the Elected Maine Delegates really are:

as we have had to take up a fight to be seated that we didn't know we would
have.)

Today we
will be making our last stand from the floor, to seat the Elected Maine
Delegation, so we can join our friends in TX, NV, MN, IA and dozens of other
states, to fight the new stranglehold rules.
We have had many expressions of support many states that want us seated.

One of the
high points of my weekend was seeing an influential Texas delegate wearing a t-shirt that they
had whipped up after our ousting on Friday.
It says, "Remember the Alamo. And the Maine,
and the Massachusetts, and the Oklahoma, and the Louisiana..." They know how corrupt the process has been
since our state conventions, and that the fix has been in on what was to happen
at this Convention since at least February.

Please,
watch what happens on the floor. Call
your friends and get them to watch. Tell
everyone what is happening with the rules.
Encourage anyone with ties to the GOP to make the establishment play by
the rules and honor the election in Maine.

Maine is the last state not to cave to
the RNC's crooked tactics. Please
support us.

Understand,
what they have done to Maine and the other states is not about Ron Paul, this
is a naked power grab, which will make Christian Conservatives, or TEA Party
groups or any other faction almost powerless to be nominated against whom ever
the RNC leadership chooses. And that
battle for the Delegates and the Rules will begin today at 2pm on the floor of
the GOP Convention in Tampa.
